14.2% alc., $42. Aged 12-14
months in French oak barrels. Only the best barrels were chosen for the Etude
bottling.
·Heavenly scents of fresh black cherries and strawberries with a subtle
touch of oak spice kept me returning to the glass. Delicious black cherry and
black raspberry fruit core with a hint of strawberries and oak toast. Impeccable
balance, silky tannins and commendable persistence on the snappy finish. A
fine drink and a noticeable departure from the previous three vintages of this wine.Reviewed February 12, 2009
